How it feels
A retro-inspired vertical shooter with frenetic action and cooperative local play, demanding quick reflexes and strategic weapon switching.

What players say
Players say it captures the feel of 16-bit shoot-'em-ups with three selectable ships and local co-op. But there is no tutorial, controls are unexplained, and the final boss can feel impossible to damage. Opinions split on difficulty: some find it a fair challenge, others find it punishing.
